For sure, one or both of them would be drawn like a shark to blood on this latest racial slur. It's just a part of their self-appointed job description.
We're watching two "reverends" without churches of their own...they have better and more lucrative fish they can "preach to" (read: save).
Neither has the credentials to chastise anyone; read their histories.
Imus deserves to be rebuked. Sharpton, Jackson and anyone else of their ilk are out for the possible dollars in their own pockets, IMO.
Finally, Shapton got into the act. There will be no long term consequences, however.
